There’s a different kind of energy in this one, less scoreboard talk, more how the game actually gets shaped. Highlighting just how quickly the game keeps moving younger, faster, and more competitive than ever. That conversation naturally opens the door to what really separates players long-term: instruction, development, and access to the right guidance at the right time.

From there, it shifts into the local heartbeat of the game, Hall of Fame recognition, including names like the Howard sisters, and what it means when a community starts to officially preserve its golf history. There’s also a broader look at how the sport continues to professionalize at every level, even outside the PGA spotlight. A quick preview of the Missouri State Bears weekend series against Sam Houston brings it back to now, matchups, momentum, and what this group needs to do to keep building as the season rolls forward.
